Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, makers of “The Dark Knight Rises,” have donated a generous — but undisclosed — sum to a fund for victims and the families of those killed and wounded in Friday’s mass shooting at the Century Aurora 16, Gov. John Hickenlooper said Tuesday.

The exact amount of the gift was not revealed, but is thought to be $1 million.

The Aurora Victim Relief Fund, administered by the Community First Foundation and its online arm Giving First.org., was nearing $2 million as of Tuesday morning.

“We are very grateful and encouraged by the support so far for the victims in Aurora,” Hickenlooper said in a statement. “The needs will be great and we look forward to seeing the fund grow exponentially. This money will help those impacted by this tragedy begin to recover and rebuild their lives.”

Warner Bros. was not the only entertainment entity responding to the shootings.

As the Denver Post reported, Tim Warner, CEO of Cinemark Theatres, owner of the multiplex in Aurora, was in town and attended a senior staff dinner at the Governor’s Mansion. According to sources, the chief executive of the Plano, Texas-based chain also made a discreet and brief visit to a hospital where a number of shooting victims are being treated.

The donation announced on Tuesday was the latest in Warner Bros.’ ongoing response to the tragedy. Immediately following the shooting, Warner Bros. canceled the Paris premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises,” and issued a statement: “Warner Bros. and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time.”

According to entertainment trade magazine the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer was also “set to send a companywide e-mail … advising employees of the donation and explaining how they can donate personally to the victims.”

The Aurora Victim Relief Fund, which has been taking donations since Friday, is intended to “only be used to meet the immediate and long-term needs of victims and their families and, as funds are available, to the broad needs of those affected in the community.”
